Cimarron 615 - Cain's Blood
Half of my blood is Cain's blood
Half of my blood is Abel
One eye looks to heaven
One eye looks for trouble
Sweet mother
She sang in the Sunday choir
On her head was a halo
She spoke brimstone and fire
Daddy lived by the bottle
Daddy died by the barn
Well, he froze one night
Mama said serves him right
The Devil can keep him warm
Half of my blood is Cain's blood
Half of my blood is Abel
One eye looks to heaven
One eye looks for trouble
I always saw myself as a simple man
But there's a man in my mirror that I don't understand
Every day I fight it
But I know down deep
The secrets I've been keeping
Oh they're rising from their sleep
My brother danced on that fine line
Between the dark and the light
He never saw thirty-nine
Me, I try to be thankful
Just to be alive
But there are days my demons
Kick it into overdrive
Half of my blood is Cain's blood
Half of my blood is Abel
One eye looks to heaven
One eye looks for trouble
Half of my blood is Cain's blood
Half of my blood is Abel
One eye looks to heaven
One eye looks for trouble
Half of my blood
Half of my blood
